Every project begins with a Discovery phase, where we work closely with clients, engineers, and stakeholders to understand the facility’s requirements, operational goals, and regulatory considerations.
From there we move into Preconstruction Planning — developing detailed cost models, schedules, constructability reviews, and risk assessments. This phase is critical for identifying challenges early and positioning the project for success.
Construction Execution and Management is where our team focuses on disciplined project management, clear communication, and proactive problem solving. Our experience working in complex environments — including national laboratories and industrial facilities — has shaped a process built on reliability, accountability, and safety.
Commissioning & Handover is where we deliver warranty information and complete turnover documentation, ensuring the facility is handed over in full compliance with agreed-upon standards.
Finally, we conduct a Lessons Learned session — both internally and with the client — to evaluate what went well, what could be improved, and how those insights strengthen future projects.
The result is a construction partner that helps clients move from concept to completion with confidence.
C+H emphasizes early project involvement so we can assist clients and design teams in identifying cost drivers, construction challenges, and scheduling risks before construction begins.
Our approach includes:
• Detailed preconstruction estimating
• Constructability reviews during design
• Transparent cost tracking throughout the project
• Proactive schedule management through long-term and short-term schedule integration
• Continuous communication with project stakeholders
Because of our experience in highly regulated and technically complex environments, our teams are trained to anticipate challenges early and address them before they affect cost, schedule, or compliance.
Before construction begins, we conduct detailed planning that includes job hazard analysis, site safety planning, coordination with facility operators, and risk identification and mitigation strategies.
During construction, we maintain a strong safety culture supported by experienced supervisors, clear procedures, and continuous oversight. Our teams are trained to work in environments that require strict safety discipline, including projects involving hazardous materials and regulated operations.
Our team brings decades of combined experience working in regulated environments, including projects involving radiological materials, research facilities, and mission-critical infrastructure.
Our experience includes work supporting:
• Idaho National Laboratory (INL)
• Department of Energy programs
• Nuclear and research infrastructure
• Industrial and technical facilities
We are highly familiar with the documentation, quality expectations, and operational controls required to perform work in these environments.
